00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show Midday Update for Tuesday, October 21st.
00:00:05.000 Happy Tuesday, folks.
00:00:06.560 Some breaking news coming out of Washington, D.C. this afternoon.
00:00:09.980 House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan this afternoon referred former CIA Director John Brennan
00:00:15.460 to the Justice Department for Criminal Prosecution for knowingly making false statements
00:00:20.620 during a May 2023 interview with the House Judiciary Committee.
00:00:24.480 Chairman Jordan's criminal referral is related to John Brennan's false statements to Congress
00:00:28.480 related to whether the CIA relied on Hillary Clinton's funded Steele dossier
00:00:33.460 when it was drafting the ICA report.
00:00:37.300 Jordan writes that while testifying, Brennan made numerous willfully and intentional false statements
00:00:42.800 of material fact contradicting a record established by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
00:00:49.380 And so, folks, the House of Cards for the Marxist Dems and the Deep State is starting to fall down.
00:00:55.500 The wind is blowing, and I think more indictments are going to start to come real, real soon.
00:01:01.920 President Trump this week is demanding $230 million in compensation from the Justice Department
00:01:07.260 for their fake federal investigations into him.
00:01:10.800 Any settlement must be approved by senior DOJ officials.
00:01:13.880 President Trump first submitted his complaint in 2023 and claimed his rights were rightfully so,
00:01:18.580 who, of course, violated during the special counsel investigation whether Russia interfered in the election.
00:01:25.240 Trump's second complaint, filed in the summer of 2024, is seeking damages over Joe Biden's FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago.
00:01:32.380 Trump accused the DOJ of malicious prosecution.
00:01:35.900 Claim accuses former Attorney General Merrick Garland and former special counsel Jack Smith
00:01:39.820 and former FBI Director Wray of harassment.
00:01:43.260 Quote, this malicious prosecution leads President Trump to spend tens of millions of dollars
00:01:47.800 defending the case and his reputation, according to the suit.
00:01:52.360 So now we wait and see if the government does the right thing.
00:01:55.620 We all know what happened to President Trump.
00:01:57.200 We all know what happened to Mar-a-Lago.
00:01:58.580 And we all know what they did in Melania's closet.
00:02:02.220 President Trump's administration is set to shatter deportation records by the end of 2025.
00:02:09.820 More than 2 million illegals have been removed so far.
00:02:13.320 In a report by the DHS released earlier this month,
00:02:16.020 they released the numbers that 2 million have already been deported or self-deported.
00:02:20.900 That's 1.6 million self-deportations.
00:02:23.420 More than 400,000 deportations from the DHS, themselves forcefully removing them.
00:02:29.920 The DHS says they now expect to deport nearly 600,000 more illegal aliens
00:02:34.540 by the end of President Trump's first year returning to office.
00:02:38.720 President Trump, of course, ran on the biggest deportation operation in American history.
00:02:44.780 And his promises are coming true, just as almost every single one of them have
00:02:49.620 since retaking office and since his first term in office.
00:02:53.200 Now, couple that all together,
00:02:54.600 President Trump's Department of Homeland Security is also using several tools to pressure illegals
00:02:58.600 to self-deport from the United States themselves.
00:03:01.220 DHS officials revealed that the agency has issued more than 31,000 fines to illegal aliens,
00:03:08.380 totaling more than $9.6 billion.
00:03:12.120 Illegal aliens should use the CBP-1 app to fly home, they say,
00:03:16.440 and they'll fly home for free, that is, and receive a $1,000 stipend
00:03:19.740 while preserving the option to return legally eventually if they apply.
00:03:23.880 It's an easy choice, leave voluntarily and receive a $1,000 check
00:03:27.740 or stay and wait until you're fined, $1,000 a day, arrested and deported
00:03:32.040 without the possibility of ever returning.
00:03:34.920 If you overstay a visa or you're here illegally and you don't self-deport,
00:03:38.980 you're never coming back.
00:03:40.120 It's simple as that, folks.
00:03:41.960 And the Trump administration has agreed today
00:03:43.800 to more student loan forgiveness in a deal with the Teachers Union.
00:03:47.280 The Trump administration has reached an agreement
00:03:49.960 with the American Federation of Teachers this week
00:03:51.920 to reinstate student loan forgiveness plans
00:03:54.380 after partially blocking them during litigation.
00:03:57.380 Under the agreement, the Department of Education will begin
00:03:59.600 canceling student loans for borrowers enrolled in income-driven payments.
00:04:04.520 This is a tremendous win for the borrowers.
00:04:06.600 With today's falling, borrowers can rest just a little bit easier
00:04:10.080 knowing that they are protected,
00:04:12.680 that according to the president of the American Federation of Teachers.
